What really brought it to the forefront of my mind is that the town I work in doesn't have a single place to buy Magic the Gathering other than Walgreens. I found this out the other day quite by accident. I looked around and there is not a single hobby type store at all there despite being a fast growing place with lots of families moving there and building new schools for all the kids overflowing the current ones. The nearest place for these kind of things is a 20 to 30 minute drive away.So my wife and I are thinking about opening up a shop that sells MtG, board games, miniature games, RPGs, Traxxas RC cars, etc. I can invest about $100,000 max without loans or stressing myself out about being broke. I would be rather be at $75,000 though. Is this a sufficient budget? I've read the articles here and elsewhere but they were a bit dated. I'd like input of the viability of doing this in 2016. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.</blockquote>
